Was the million dollar episode of "Deal or No Deal" a setup?

Question

For those who watched it, did it seem to you that all of this was just a little too perfect? It sure did to me. Either that woman is one helluva psychic or there was something going on behind the scenes. Thoughts?

Answer 1

I think the woman was just extremely lucky.  Don't think it was a set-up or they would have done it long ago.  

This is the first time someone won the million and it's about time.  People were really getting bored with the show, but I still don't think it was a setup.

Answer 2

I think it was because she was pregnat. they probably told her before the show.

or she might of been an actress so the show didnt get low ratings

Answer 3

i don't think it's a set up but she might be psychic. she didn't seem that excited when the $750 was opened (leaving all giant amounts on the board). or maybe this was a re-enactment of the real game that happened in a longer time period so that they could fit it into 1 hour.

Answer 4

good point... why has it taken three years for someone to get a million? i think they did this episode a long time ago, but put it in archives so people would keep watching....
